Mr. Speaker, a mere $500 million was transferred for health care.
Quebec and the provinces are meeting with the Prime Minister tomorrow, and they are united in their demand for higher health transfers. The provinces were forced to cancel Christmas, shut down thousands of businesses, tell millions of people they would lose their jobs, cancel operations and stop cancer screening. These are unprecedented measures because we are facing an unprecedented crisis.
Will the Prime Minister acknowledge that and, at long last, increase health transfers significantly and permanently?
